This week’s compound is so bitter (a thousand times more so than quinine) that it’s used to stop people drinking alcohol. Discover denatonium benzoate – the bitterest compound in the world – in this week’s Chemistry in its element podcast.

From the vibrant yellow in van Gogh’s paintings to providing the cadmium for batteries, this semiconductor’s looking bright. Find out about cadmium sulfide in this week’s Chemistry in its element podcast.

You will have heard of The Naked Scientists. They do loads of very interesting things but, importantly for Chemistry World, they have been supporting us for years with the recording of our podcasts. Well, now it is our turn to support them so at Chemistry World we have decided to risk leaving our bunker as often as we can (no mean feat!) to take part in their podcasts and radio programmes. We will bring what in our opinion are the most interesting chemical sciences-related stories of the week and discuss them with Chris and his team and guests in as interactive and entertaining a manner as possible (or so we hope!).
